Re: Atapco Redevelopment PUD - Docket No. 13040021 Z
Plan Commission Hearing Date: September 17, 2013
Dear Plan Commissioner:
.LANE B. MERRILL,
Of Counsel
JON C. DOBOSIEWICZ,
Land Use Professional
Atapco is the owner of 34 acres located on the northeast and southeast corners of Carmel Drive and
Guilford Road. The property is zoned M3 (manufacturing) and is outlined on the attached aerial
photograph. The M3 (manufacturing) district allows manufacturing, office, retail and multi - family
residential uses.
Atapco has requested approvals to redevelop its site. To this end, the public hearing before the
Plan Commission occurred on June 18, 2013 and was followed by 3 meetings of the Special Studies
Committee. During the Committee process, this matter was reviewed with great care. At the conclusion of
the Committee process, this matter was returned to Plan Commission, next meeting on September 17, 2013,
with the Committee's unanimous favorable recommendation.
Included with this correspondence are (i) a summary of the many revisions to the PUD resulting
from the productive Committee process and many helpful meetings with Staff, (ii) an updated version of
the PUD containing all revisions and (iii) a redlined version of the PUD comparing the updated version of
the PUD to the original PUD.
Atapco's site is uniquely situated as a gateway between the Meridian Corridor and the City Center.
As set forth in the PUD Ordinance, Atapco's vision is to enhance this unique location by providing
appropriate transition through an integration of mixed uses, including multi - family, retail and office. As
fully detailed and illustrated by the PUD Ordinance, this mix of uses will be delivered with a high level of
site design, architecture and landscaping.
The proposed redevelopment represents a very considerable and purely private investment fostered
by our City's substantial economic development investment in physical infrastructure and in cultural and
recreational amenities. We look forward to meeting with you again on September 17, 2016.
Respectfully submitted,
NELSON & FFRAANKENBERGER, P.C.
